I think the issue is you are not doing bin/sync_members to do the
import. If you use bin/sync_members, those people who are already
members will not have their moderation flag changed by the import.
This does require that sync_members be given the full membership list
each time, but if I understand correctly, that's what you're doing
anyway.

I don't know what your script process is, but neither sync_members or
add_members will change anything for an address which is already a
member.

If I'm not understanding the situation, please clarify.
